yeah, it does look kinda funny.. looks like chrome paint or something...? but the original pic had a really bright shine up by the windows, and i guess thats why the orange turned out the way it did
if there is a "bright shine" on the original photo then it should be there on the final. that's why so many renderings look so saturated, people try to make it look like what they know instead of what they see. you seem to think that a car should have a lot of color when you look at it, but in reality a glossy paint job has a lot of highlights and shadows and they should be shown in renderings. even if you exaggerate it a little bit then that's better then the paint looking like it has no shine. its just a rule of thumb that i learned for drawing that also apply's to renderings... 'draw what you see, not what you know'
meaning if you have a reference photo that you're using to draw, aka: the stock vehicle. then draw exactly what you see and don't try to redraw it slightly different just because you don't think it looks realistic. because obviously you'd have the wrong idea of what 'realistic' is....
rendering looks clean though man, good job
